Step 1
Grind your Coffee
For a 3-Cup Moka Pot, take about 14 gm coffee and grind it slightly coarser than espresso.
Step 2
Add grounds to filter basket
Put your coffee grounds in the filter basket and gently tap the edge to evenly spread the grounds. Do not tamp.
Step 3
Fill bottom chamber with hot water
Heat water to 85 degree in a kettle. This step saves time and prevents the grounds from burning. Fill the bottom chamber with hot water just below the steam valve.
Step 4
Place on Stove-top
Screw the bottom chamber and place it on stove-top over low heat. Leave the lip open to keep a watch on extraction.
Step 5
Turn-off the heat
As soon as coffee starts to flow into the top chamber, lower the heat and turn it off after 40-45 seconds. Do not wait for all the water to flow out.
Step 6
Serve
Pour it into a warm cup. You can drink it with warm water or milk.
